We Can Rebuild Your Laundry Room & Do So Much More

A dryer fire is more common than you might realize and can disrupt the comfort of your Belmont home. But rest assured, SERVPRO® is always Here to Help® 24/7, ready to assist with our experienced fire restoration experts.

By consistently cleaning out the filter, you can take proactive steps to keep your home in Belmont from needing fire restoration services. Remember, emptying the lint filter after or before each load is a crucial task that can prevent damp lint and fibers from making their way deeper into the exhaust system, where many fires begin.

Dryer fires often cause extensive damage to the area, including:
     *Laundry in the area,
     *Ductwork and structural components, and
     *Possibly other areas of the home.

A dryer fire can be especially problematic because of the different textiles involved. Many textiles today are synthetics and produce extremely caustic soot when burned. The chemical makeup of these garments can create highly unwanted and offensive odors, such as the smell of burnt plastic, that quickly end up inside other areas of the home, especially when the ductwork for smoke invades the HVAC system.

Once inside the HVAC system, smoke can spread for months throughout the residence. If water damage also occurs, we can perform water extraction and other services simultaneously. Both appliances become inaccessible to the family when the washing machine is next to the dryer.

We work with our customers to ensure we fulfill their odor-control needs. Scent is a highly individual sense; we don't rely on our perception - we depend on yours. If fire spreads to other areas, such as upstairs, our restoration services
can cover this, too.
